    Real talk

    If you've been burned by aldehydes that smell like mothballs, this isn't that. The aldehydic opening here is champagne-clean, not costume-drama vintage.Lady of the Sonnets
    LouLou is not a safe choice. It is big, resinous, and unapologetically floral with a plum-incense core that some adore and others find overwhelming. Wear it with intention or not at all.LouLou
